Type 4 150mm howitzer (Japanese)

Description

The Type 4 150mm howitzer was a howitzer of WWI vintage used by the Japanese throughout WWII. Despite being outdated by the late 1930s, lack of a suitable replacement in sufficient numbers meant it continued in frontline service until 1945. While it had some good points – it was relatively light for its size which made transportation over rough ground easier, and it had excellent elevation; it was also considerably underpowered compared to contemporary howitzers and its crew were out ranged and out gunned when facing Allied artillery.
